I deal with cleanups every day. I understand that in many cases it's the user who allowed the malware in, but any conclusion which points at the user as a resolution to the problem is missing the point. It's been over 16 years since the Endless September, and we're in no better shape trying to educate people. Any security solution which requires the user to become educated is doomed. The problem may be the user in the strictest sense, but the solution has to be taken out of their hands to work in a widespread fashion. Prevention and eradication has to include the concept that most users will never become educated enough to prevent these issues.

MPC Computers Shutting Down 137

davidphogan74 writes "MPC Computers (formerly Micron's computer division) notified the Idaho Department of Labor in a letter on 12/29/2008 that it would terminate its remaining employees. The company had been operating under the protection of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy since November, after it laid off 200 employees in October. MPC said 147 employees would be terminated immediately and 51 would be retained while the company liquidates its assets. Last year, MPC bought the professional business unit of PC company Gateway, which itself had been bought by Acer earlier that year. MPC had sold business technology hardware to mid-sized business, government agencies, and education organizations since 1991."
